Two men who allegedly fathered hundreds of kids banned from donating sperm in Quebec
Quebec's Superior Court halted sperm donations from two men linked to over 600 children, citing expert limits and potential risks to offspring and families.
- On March 18, Quebec's Superior Court temporarily barred a man and his son from donating sperm after they were accused of fathering hundreds of children, a ruling first reported March 20, 2026 by The Canadian Press.
- Alleging breaches of a donation agreement, the plaintiff states her research linked one donor to more than 450 children and the other to over 160, prompting legal action.
- Court papers show the donors deny an agreement and admit more children than the plaintiff's allegations, with the scale described as hundreds of children.
- Justice Simon Chamberland wrote that the numbers exceed expert-recommended donation limits and pose risks for the children and their families, and each new donation heightens prejudice against the plaintiff's four children.
- The injunction will remain in effect while the case proceeds on its merits, leaving ongoing legal and ethical questions from Justice Simon Chamberland's March 18 ruling unresolved.
